WARNING
Always use battery pack LBP-560-900 and charge only with LCJQ-560 charger.
Keep charger and battery away from damp conditions and all liquids.
Do not operate the charger on an easily combustible surface (e.g. paper, textiles) or in an environment with a high
risk of fire.
Do not cover the charger. Covering the charger will prevent it from cooling.
Do not operate the charger in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Chargers can produce sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes - there is a risk of explosion.
Connect the charger only to the mains of voltage and frequency specified on the rating plate.
Connect the charger only to an easily accessible wall outlet.
Never insert objects in the battery pack's or charger's cooling slots.
Do not charge or use a defective, damaged or deformed battery pack and charger.
Do not open, damage or drop the battery pack or the charger.
Fluid may leak from the battery if it is damaged or not used properly; avoid contact with the skin. In the event of ac-
cidental contact, wash the affected areas of the skin with plenty of water and soap. If fluid gets in the eyes, do not
rub. Rinse the eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Also seek medical assistance.
Never bridge (short circuit) the battery pack contacts or the charger's terminals with metallic objects.
Protect from direct sunlight, heat and open flames and never throw battery into fire; there is a risk of explosion.
In the event of smoke or fire in the charger, disconnect it from the wall outlet immediately.
If the connecting cord is damaged, immediately disconnect the plug from the power supply to avoid the risk of elec-
tric shock.
Do not expose battery pack to microwaves or high pressure.
Secure the unit against unintentional startup. Remove the battery pack from the unit before transporting or storing
the unit. Do not use metal containers for transporting batteries.
To reduce the risk of stumbling, position and mark the connecting cord in such a way that it cannot be damaged or
endanger others.
NOTE
The battery comes partially charged from the factory and needs to be fully charged before first use.
Charge the battery when it no longer produces sufficient power to operate the unit or when battery lights indicate that the
battery is low.
Recharge the battery at air temperatures of 0°C to 40°C.
